Schetsboek met 7 losse bladen 1834 - 1911

This sketchbook by Jozef Israëls, a prominent Dutch realist painter, contains seven loose pages, showcasing the artist's creative process and artistic development. The sketchbook is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The sketchbook's small dimensions suggest its portability, allowing Israëls to capture his observations and ideas whenever inspiration struck. The worn and aged texture of the cover, marked by numerous pencil strokes and faint sketches, provides glimpses into the artist's creative explorations, offering a fascinating look into the mind of a renowned artist.
